PROVO -- The No. 14/13 BYU men’s basketball team extended its overall win streak to 14 with an 81-66 victory over Wyoming on Wednesday night. With the win the Cougars improve to 19-1 overall and 4-0 in Mountain West Conference play.

“I’m really pleased our team was able to come out with a hard-fought win tonight,” said BYU head coach Dave Rose. “Wyoming did a nice job taking us out of what we like to do and really disrupt us. Our guys made some adjustments to help us get on a run and we made enough plays to win.”

True freshman Tyler Haws led all scorers with a career-high 24 points. Jackson Emery and Jimmer Fredette also scored in double figures, with 15 and 11 points, respectively.

“I wanted to come into the game and try to find a rhythm,” said Haws. “I have to give credit to my teammates for finding me open, making unselfish plays and giving me time to knock my shots down.”

It was a physical game from the start as BYU jumped out to an early 5-0 lead which it would never relinquish. With the score tied 16-16 Fredette secured an offensive rebound for the quick put-back, but strong defensive play and untimely turnovers by both teams kept either from creating any momentum. Haws scored his tenth point of the game after a two-for-two trip to the free throw line with 8:49 remaining in the first half.

“Tyler was just terrific tonight,” said Rose. “We knew Wyoming would double team Jimmer and Jackson, leaving Tyler with some open looks. I was pleased how he handled that situation. He shot shots at his pace.”

Both Fredette and Emery knocked down three-point shots to help the Cougars pull away 32-26. Wyoming struggled from the charity stripe, missing its last five free throws as BYU led 41-33 heading into the break.

The Cougars’ first double-digit lead of the game came early in the second half after a jumper from Haws made the score 48-37. The score was part of a 12-point BYU run which lasted nearly five minutes.

While the Cowboys managed to cut the deficit to 10 points, the Cougars maintained a comfortable lead thanks to baskets by Haws and Emery. Emery, Chris Miles and Jonathan Tavernari contributed four points from the free throw line to increase their lead to 74-56 with less than five minutes to play in the game.

The Cougars continue conference play on Saturday at San Diego State. The game tips off at 7 p.m. PT and will be televised live on The Mtn.
